I'd like to put this bluntly. The hells the point? It's bent black shiny 360, with a touch screen no/off button with extra GB and a Wirless Adapter put into it.

I really, really, wanted to call it a cynical rebranding excercise. But I like it. A lot more than the Elite sitting under my TV right now!

Looks like I'll be squealing for overtime at work, in order to justify the cost.....

I like the larger harddrive and the wireless function. Also being able to connect Kinect without another power lead is a bonus. Just need some Kinect games worth getting.

I like it. It's good value as well with it having a 250gb hard drive and wireless. But it's £200 I won't be spending as I don't need one.

If I could afford it I'd love to get one... or three... to replace the elites littering our house.

Until I wins the lottery though, it ain't gonna happen.

I'm trying to convince the girlfriend to get me the halo one that comes out on the 14th.

The Halo special edition looks amazing.. but I am still holding out to see if these fail as many times as the old 360s...

No point in buying one if it overheats and melts after 3 days......

All I can see coming from this is weaker fans to fit the casing, and thus more RROD'ing.
